Catherine Gibbon, Music Is My Country
Paintings, Main Gallery
 "Music
is my County" is an exhibition of paintings and three
dimensional works which explores traditional music and dance in
Cape Breton. These colourful and playful works interpret the
oral music culture as an imaginative realm which reflects the
influence of place, memory, immigration and community. Figures
of musicians, singers and dancers made from bone, old tools and
musical instruments incorporate the mixed identities of human,
animal and musical instruments. These mysterious sculptures of
cross species hybrids and gestural paintings echo with the
ancestral voices that are heard in the contemporary music of
Cape Breton.
Catherine Gibbon is
an visual artist who has exhibited her work throughout Canada.
She is also a student of Celtic music and yearly resident of the
Margaree Valley in Cape Breton.
